Self-created digital collection has become an effective means for libraries to create knowledge, preserve and share archival and research information. In order to provide easy online access to these research materials for users, librarians and information professionals use metadata to organize and describe information, and make these resources online searchable. How to create effective metadata for digital collections? Jin Xiu Guo will offer a workshop on NITLE Information Services Camp at Smith College on June 4, 2009. This workshop is for everyone who wants to know about metadata and likes to explore knowlege management in digital age. People who are interested in the workshop could visit NIS Camp.
